Trigger PLUS Based on the Value of the S&P 500 ® Index due May 20, 2024

Trigger Performance Leveraged Upside Securities SM

Principal at Risk Securities

Fully and Unconditionally Guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co.

The Trigger PLUS will pay no interest and do not guarantee any return of your principal at maturity. At maturity, if the underlying index has appreciated in value, investors will receive the stated principal amount of their investment plus leveraged upside performance of the underlying index. If the underlying index has declined in value but the final index value is greater than or equal to the trigger level, investors will receive the stated principal amount of the Trigger PLUS at maturity. However, if the underlying index has declined in value so that the final index value is less than the trigger level, at maturity investors will lose a significant portion or all of their investment, resulting in a 1% loss for every 1% decline in the closing level of the underlying index over the term of the Trigger PLUS. The Trigger PLUS are for investors who seek an equity-based return and who are willing to risk their principal and forgo current income in exchange for the leverage feature. At maturity, an investor will receive an amount in cash that may be greater than, equal to, or less than the stated principal amount based upon the closing level of the underlying index on the valuation date . The Trigger PLUS are unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, which we refer to as JPMorgan Financial, the payment on which is fully and unconditionally guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co., issued as part of JPMorgan Financial’s Medium-Term Notes, Series A, program. Any payment on the Trigger PLUS is subject to the credit risk of JPMorgan Financial, as issuer of the Trigger PLUS, and the credit risk of JPMorgan Chase & Co., as guarantor of the Trigger PLUS. The investor may lose some or all of the stated principal amount of the Trigger PLUS.

Key Investment Rationale

Trigger PLUS offer leveraged exposure to an underlying asset, which may be equities, commodities and/or currencies, while providing limited protection against negative performance of the underlying asset. In exchange for enhanced returns from any positive performance of the underlying asset, investors are exposed to the risk of loss or some or all of their investment due to the trigger feature. At maturity, if the underlying asset has appreciated, investors will receive the stated principal amount of their investment plus leveraged upside performance of the underlying asset. At maturity, if the underlying asset has depreciated but is at or above the trigger level, investors will receive the stated principal amount of their investment.  At maturity, if the underlying asset has depreciated below the trigger level, investors are fully exposed to the negative performance of the underlying asset. Investors may lose some or all of the stated principal amount of the Trigger PLUS.

Leveraged Performance The Trigger PLUS offer investors an opportunity to capture enhanced returns for any of positive performance relative to a direct investment in the underlying index.
Trigger Feature At maturity, even if the underlying index has declined over the term of the Trigger PLUS, investors will receive their stated principal amount but only if the final index value is greater than or equal to the trigger level.
Upside Scenario The underlying index increases in value and, at maturity, the Trigger PLUS pay the stated principal amount of $10 plus a return equal to 126.25% of the index percent increase.
Par Scenario The final index value is less than or equal to the initial index value but is greater than or equal to the trigger level.  In this case, the Trigger PLUS pay the stated principal amount of $10 per Trigger PLUS at maturity even when the underlying index has depreciated.
Downside Scenario The final index value is less than the trigger level.  In this case, the Trigger PLUS pay an amount that is over 35% less than the stated principal amount and this decrease will be by an amount that is proportionate to the percentage decline of the final index value from the initial index value.  (Example: if the underlying index decreases in value by 40%, the Trigger PLUS will pay an amount that is less than the stated principal amount by 40%, or $6 per Trigger PLUS.)

How the Trigger PLUS Work

Payoff Diagram

The payoff diagram below illustrates the payment at maturity on the Trigger PLUS based on the following terms:

Stated principal amount: $10 per Trigger PLUS
Leverage factor: 126.25%
Trigger level 65% of the initial index value

 

Trigger PLUS Payoff Diagram
 

 

How it works

§ Upside Scenario. Under the terms of the Trigger PLUS, if the final index value is greater than the initial index value, for each $10 principal amount Trigger PLUS investors will receive the $10 stated principal amount plus a return equal to 126.25% of the appreciation of the underlying index over the term of the Trigger PLUS.
§ For example, if the underlying index appreciates 5%, investors will receive a 6.3125% return, or $10.63125 per Trigger PLUS.

 

§ Par Scenario. If the final index value is less than or equal to the initial index value but is greater than or equal to the trigger level, investors will receive the stated principal amount of $10 per Trigger PLUS.
§ For example, if the underlying index depreciates 5%, investors will receive the $10 stated principal amount.

 

§ Downside Scenario. If the final index value is less than the trigger level, investors will receive an amount that is significantly less than the stated principal amount by an amount proportionate to the percentage decrease of the final index value from the initial index value.
§ For example, if the underlying index depreciates 50%, investors will lose 50% of their principal and receive only $5.00 per Trigger PLUS at maturity, or 50% of the stated principal amount.

The hypothetical returns and hypothetical payments on the Trigger PLUS shown above apply only if you hold the Trigger PLUS for their entire term. These hypotheticals do not reflect fees or expenses that would be associated with any sale in the secondary market. If these fees and expenses were included, the hypothetical returns and hypothetical payments shown above would likely be lower.

Risk Factors

The following is a non-exhaustive list of certain key risk factors for investors in the Trigger PLUS. For further discussion of these and other risks, you should read the sections entitled “Risk Factors” of the accompanying product supplement and the accompanying underlying supplement. We urge you to consult your investment, legal, tax, accounting and other advisers in connection with your investment in the Trigger PLUS.

 

§ Trigger PLUS do not pay interest or guarantee the return of any principal and your investment in the Trigger PLUS may result in a loss. The terms of the Trigger PLUS differ from those of ordinary debt securities in that the Trigger PLUS do not pay interest or guarantee the payment of any principal amount at maturity. If the final index value is less than the trigger level (which is 65% of the initial index value), the payment at maturity will be an amount in cash that is over 35% less than the stated principal amount of each Trigger PLUS, and this decrease will be by an amount that is proportionate to the decrease in the value of the underlying index and may be zero. There is no minimum payment at maturity on the Trigger PLUS, and, accordingly, you could lose your entire initial investment in the Trigger PLUS.
§ The Trigger PLUS are subject to the credit risks of JPMorgan Financial and JPMorgan Chase & Co., and any actual or anticipated changes to our or JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s credit ratings or credit spreads may adversely affect the market value of the Trigger PLUS. Investors are dependent on our and JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s ability to pay all amounts due on the Trigger PLUS. Any actual or anticipated decline in our or JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s credit ratings or increase in our or JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s credit spreads determined by the market for taking that credit risk is likely to adversely affect the market value of the Trigger PLUS. If we and JPMorgan Chase & Co. were to default on our payment obligations, you may not receive any amounts owed to you under the Trigger PLUS and you could lose your entire investment.
§ As a finance subsidiary, JPMorgan Financial has no independent operations and has limited assets. As a finance subsidiary of JPMorgan Chase & Co., we have no independent operations beyond the issuance and administration of our securities. Aside from the initial capital contribution from JPMorgan Chase & Co., substantially all of our assets relate to obligations of our affiliates to make payments under loans made by us or other intercompany agreements. As a result, we are dependent upon payments from our affiliates to meet our obligations under the Trigger PLUS. If these affiliates do not make payments to us and we fail to make payments on the Trigger PLUS, you may have to seek payment under the related guarantee by JPMorgan Chase & Co., and that guarantee will rank pari passu with all other unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of JPMorgan Chase & Co.
§ Economic interests of the issuer, the guarantor, the calculation agent, the agent of the offering of the Trigger PLUS and other affiliates of the issuer may be different from those of investors. We and our affiliates play a variety of roles in connection with the issuance of the Trigger PLUS, including acting as calculation agent and as an agent of the offering of the Trigger PLUS, hedging our obligations under the Trigger PLUS and making the assumptions used to determine the pricing of the Trigger PLUS and the estimated value of the Trigger PLUS, which we refer to as the estimated value of the Trigger PLUS. In performing these duties, our and JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s economic interests and the economic interests of the calculation agent and other affiliates of ours are potentially adverse to your interests as an investor in the Trigger PLUS. The calculation agent has determined the initial index value and the trigger level, will determine the final index value and will calculate the amount of payment you will receive at maturity, if any. Determinations made by the calculation agent, including with respect to the occurrence or non-occurrence of market disruption events, the selection of a successor to the underlying index or calculation of the final index value in the event of a discontinuation or material change in method of calculation of the underlying index, may affect the payment to you at maturity.

In addition, JPMorgan Chase & Co. is currently one of the companies that make up the underlying index. JPMorgan Chase & Co. will not have any obligation to consider your interests as a holder of the Trigger PLUS in taking any corporate action that might affect the value of the underlying index or the Trigger PLUS.

Moreover, our and JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s business activities, including hedging and trading activities, could cause our and JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s economic interests to be adverse to yours and could adversely affect any payment on the Trigger PLUS and the value of the Trigger PLUS. It is possible that hedging or trading activities of ours or our affiliates in connection with the Trigger PLUS could result in substantial returns for us or our affiliates while the value of the Trigger PLUS declines.

“Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Conflicts of Interest” in the accompanying product supplement for additional information about these risks.

§ The benefit provided by the trigger level may terminate on the valuation date.  If the final index value is less than the trigger level, the benefit provided by the trigger level will terminate and you will be fully exposed to any depreciation of the underlying index.
§ The estimated value of the Trigger PLUS is lower than the original issue price (price to public) of the Trigger PLUS. The estimated value of the Trigger PLUS is only an estimate determined by reference to several factors. The original issue price of the Trigger PLUS exceeds the estimated value of the Trigger PLUS because costs associated with selling, structuring and hedging the Trigger PLUS are included in the original issue price of the Trigger PLUS. These costs include the selling commissions, the structuring fee, the projected profits, if any, that our affiliates expect to realize for assuming risks inherent in hedging our obligations under the Trigger PLUS and the estimated cost of hedging our obligations under the Trigger PLUS. See “Additional Information about the Trigger PLUS — The estimated value of the Trigger PLUS” in this document.
§ The estimated value of the Trigger PLUS does not represent future values of the Trigger PLUS and may differ from others’ estimates. The estimated value of the Trigger PLUS is determined by reference to internal pricing models of our affiliates. This estimated value of the Trigger PLUS is based on market conditions and other relevant factors existing at the time of pricing and assumptions about market parameters, which can include volatility, dividend rates, interest rates and other factors. Different pricing models and assumptions could provide valuations for the Trigger PLUS that are greater than or less than the estimated value of the Trigger PLUS. In addition, market conditions and other relevant factors in the future may change, and any assumptions may prove to be incorrect. On future dates, the value of the Trigger PLUS could change significantly based on, among other things, changes in market conditions, our or JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s creditworthiness, interest rate movements and other relevant factors, which may impact the price, if any, at which JPMS would be willing to buy Trigger PLUS from you in secondary market transactions. See “Additional Information about the Trigger PLUS — The estimated value of the Trigger PLUS” in this document.
§ The estimated value of the Trigger PLUS is derived by reference to an internal funding rate. The internal funding rate used in the determination of the estimated value of the Trigger PLUS may differ from the market-implied funding rate for vanilla fixed income instruments of a similar maturity issued by JPMorgan Chase & Co. or its affiliates. Any difference may be based on, among other things, our and our affiliates’ view of the funding value of the Trigger PLUS as well as the higher issuance, operational and ongoing liability management costs of the Trigger PLUS in comparison to those costs for the conventional fixed income instruments of JPMorgan Chase & Co . This internal funding rate is based on certain market inputs and assumptions, which may prove to be incorrect, and is intended to approximate the prevailing market replacement funding rate for the Trigger PLUS. The use of an internal funding rate and any potential changes to that rate may have an adverse effect on the terms of the Trigger PLUS and any secondary market prices of the Trigger PLUS. See “Additional Information about the Trigger PLUS — The estimated value of the Trigger PLUS” in this document.
§ The value of the Trigger PLUS as published by JPMS (and which may be reflected on customer account statements) may be higher than the then-current estimated value of the Trigger PLUS for a limited time period. We generally expect that some of the costs included in the original issue price of the Trigger PLUS will be partially paid back to you in connection with any repurchases of your Trigger PLUS by JPMS in an amount that will decline to zero over an initial predetermined period. These costs can include selling commissions, the structuring fee, projected hedging profits, if any, and, in some circumstances, estimated hedging costs and our internal secondary market funding rates for structured debt issuances. See “Additional Information about the Trigger PLUS — Secondary market prices of the Trigger PLUS” in this document for additional information relating to this initial period. Accordingly, the estimated value of your Trigger PLUS during this initial period may be lower than the value of the Trigger PLUS as published by JPMS (and which may be shown on your customer account statements).
§ Secondary market prices of the Trigger PLUS will likely be lower than the original issue price of the Trigger PLUS . Any secondary market prices of the Trigger PLUS will likely be lower than the original issue price of the Trigger PLUS because, among other things, secondary market prices take into account our internal secondary market funding rates for structured debt issuances and, also, because secondary market prices may exclude selling commissions and the structuring fee, projected hedging profits, if any,

  and estimated hedging costs that are included in the original issue price of the Trigger PLUS. As a result, the price, if any, at which JPMS will be willing to buy Trigger PLUS from you in secondary market transactions, if at all, is likely to be lower than the original issue price. Any sale by you prior to the maturity date could result in a substantial loss to you. See the immediately following risk factor for information about additional factors that will impact any secondary market prices of the Trigger PLUS.

The Trigger PLUS are not designed to be short-term trading instruments. Accordingly, you should be able and willing to hold your Trigger PLUS to maturity. See “— Secondary trading may be limited” below.

§ Secondary market prices of the Trigger PLUS will be impacted by many economic and market factors.  The secondary market price of the Trigger PLUS during their term will be impacted by a number of economic and market factors, which may either offset or magnify each other, aside from the selling commissions, structuring fee, projected hedging profits, if any, estimated hedging costs and the closing level of the underlying index, including:
○ any actual or potential change in our or JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s creditworthiness or credit spreads;
○ customary bid-ask spreads for similarly sized trades;
○ our internal secondary market funding rates for structured debt issuances;
○ the actual and expected volatility of the underlying index;
○ the time to maturity of the Trigger PLUS;
○ the dividend rates on the equity securities included in the underlying index;
○ interest and yield rates in the market generally; and
○ a variety of other economic, financial, political, regulatory and judicial events.

Additionally, independent pricing vendors and/or third party broker-dealers may publish a price for the Trigger PLUS, which may also be reflected on customer account statements. This price may be different (higher or lower) than the price of the Trigger PLUS, if any, at which JPMS may be willing to purchase your Trigger PLUS in the secondary market.

§ Investing in the Trigger PLUS is not equivalent to investing in the underlying index. Investing in the Trigger PLUS is not equivalent to investing in the underlying index or its component stocks. Investors in the Trigger PLUS will not have voting rights or rights to receive dividends or other distributions or any other rights with respect to the stocks that constitute the underlying index.
§ Adjustments to the underlying index could adversely affect the value of the Trigger PLUS. The underlying index publisher may discontinue or suspend calculation or publication of the underlying index at any time. In these circumstances, the calculation agent will have the sole discretion to substitute a successor index that is comparable to the discontinued underlying index and is not precluded from considering indices that are calculated and published by the calculation agent or any of its affiliates.
§ Hedging and trading activities by the issuer and its affiliates could potentially affect the value of the Trigger PLUS . The hedging or trading activities of the issuer’s affiliates and of any other hedging counterparty with respect to the Trigger PLUS on or prior to the pricing date and prior to maturity could have adversely affected, and may continue to adversely affect, the value of the underlying index and, as a result, could decrease the amount an investor may receive on the Trigger PLUS at maturity, if any. Any of these hedging or trading activities on or prior to the pricing date could have affected the initial index value and the trigger level and, therefore, could potentially increase the level that the final index value must reach before you receive a payment at maturity that exceeds the issue price of the Trigger PLUS or so that you do not suffer a loss on your initial investment in the Trigger PLUS . Additionally, these hedging or trading activities during the term of the Trigger PLUS , including on the valuation date, could adversely affect the final index value and, accordingly, the payment to you at maturity, if any. It is possible that these hedging or trading activities could result in substantial returns for us or our affiliates while the value of the Trigger PLUS declines.
§ Secondary trading may be limited. Th e Trigger PLUS will not be listed on a securities exchange. There may be little or no secondary market for the Trigger PLUS. Even if there is a secondary market, it may not

  provide enough liquidity to allow you to trade or sell the Trigger PLUS easily . JPMS may act as a market maker for the Trigger PLUS, but is not required to do so. Because we do not expect that other market makers will participate significantly in the secondary market for the Trigger PLUS, the price at which you may be able to trade your Trigger PLUS is likely to depend on the price, if any, at which JPMS is willing to buy the Trigger PLUS. If at any time JPMS or another agent does not act as a market maker, it is likely that there would be little or no secondary market for the Trigger PLUS.
§ The tax consequences of an investment in the Trigger PLUS are uncertain. There is no direct legal authority as to the proper U.S. federal income tax characterization of the Trigger PLUS, and we do not intend to request a ruling from the IRS. The IRS might not accept, and a court might not uphold, the treatment of the Trigger PLUS described in “Additional Information about the Trigger PLUS ― Additional Provisions ― Tax considerations” in this document and in “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” in the accompanying product supplement. If the IRS were successful in asserting an alternative treatment for the Trigger PLUS, the timing and character of any income or loss on the Trigger PLUS could differ materially and adversely from our description herein. In addition, in 2007 Treasury and the IRS released a notice requesting comments on the U.S. federal income tax treatment of “prepaid forward contracts” and similar instruments. The notice focuses in particular on whether to require investors in these instruments to accrue income over the term of their investment. It also asks for comments on a number of related topics, including the character of income or loss with respect to these instruments; the relevance of factors such as the nature of the underlying property to which the instruments are linked; the degree, if any, to which income (including any mandated accruals) realized by non-U.S. investors should be subject to withholding tax; and whether these instruments are or should be subject to the “constructive ownership” regime, which very generally can operate to recharacterize certain long-term capital gain as ordinary income and impose a notional interest charge. While the notice requests comments on appropriate transition rules and effective dates, any Treasury regulations or other guidance promulgated after consideration of these issues could materially and adversely affect the tax consequences of an investment in the Trigger PLUS, possibly with retroactive effect. You should review carefully the section entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” in the accompanying product supplement and consult your tax adviser regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the Trigger PLUS, including possible alternative treatments and the issues presented by this notice.

Additional Information about the Trigger PLUS

Please read this information in conjunction with the summary terms on the front cover of this document.

Additional Provisions:
Postponement of maturity date: If the scheduled maturity date is not a business day, then the maturity date will be the following business day.  If the scheduled valuation date is not a trading day or if a market disruption event occurs on that day so that the valuation date is postponed and falls less than three business days prior to the scheduled maturity date, the maturity date of the Trigger PLUS will be postponed to the third business day following the valuation date as postponed.
Minimum ticketing size: $1,000 / 100 Trigger PLUS
Trustee: Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas (formerly Bankers Trust Company)
Calculation agent: JPMS
The estimated value of the Trigger PLUS:

The estimated value of the Trigger PLUS set forth on the cover of this document is equal to the sum of the values of the following hypothetical components: (1) a fixed-income debt component with the same maturity as the Trigger PLUS, valued using the internal funding rate described below, and (2) the derivative or derivatives underlying the economic terms of the Trigger PLUS. The estimated value of the Trigger PLUS does not represent a minimum price at which JPMS would be willing to buy your Trigger PLUS in any secondary market (if any exists) at any time. The internal funding rate used in the determination of the estimated value of the Trigger PLUS may differ from the market-implied funding rate for vanilla fixed income instruments of a similar maturity issued by JPMorgan Chase & Co. or its affiliates. Any difference may be based on, among other things, our and our affiliates’ view of the funding value of the Trigger PLUS as well as the higher issuance, operational and ongoing liability management costs of the Trigger PLUS in comparison to those costs for the conventional fixed income instruments of JPMorgan Chase & Co. This internal funding rate is based on certain market inputs and assumptions, which may prove to be incorrect, and is intended to approximate the prevailing market replacement funding rate for the Trigger PLUS. The use of an internal funding rate and any potential changes to that rate may have an adverse effect on the terms of the Trigger PLUS and any secondary market prices of the

Trigger PLUS. For additional information, see “Risk Factors — The estimated value of the Trigger PLUS is derived by reference to an internal funding rate” in this document. The value of the derivative or derivatives underlying the economic terms of the Trigger PLUS is derived from internal pricing models of our affiliates. These models are dependent on inputs such as the traded market prices of comparable derivative instruments and on various other inputs, some of which are market-observable, and which can include volatility, dividend rates, interest rates and other factors, as well as assumptions about future market events and/or environments. Accordingly, the estimated value of the Trigger PLUS on the pricing date is based on market conditions and other relevant factors and assumptions existing at that time. See “Risk Factors — The estimated value of the Trigger PLUS does not represent future values of the Trigger PLUS and may differ from others’ estimates” in this document.

The estimated value of the Trigger PLUS is lower than the original issue price of the Trigger PLUS because costs associated with selling, structuring and hedging the Trigger PLUS are included in the original issue price of the Trigger PLUS. These costs include the selling commissions paid to JPMS and other affiliated or unaffiliated dealers, the structuring fee, the projected profits, if any, that our affiliates expect to realize for assuming risks inherent in hedging our obligations under the Trigger PLUS and the estimated cost of hedging our obligations under the Trigger PLUS. Because hedging our obligations entails risk and may be influenced by market forces beyond our control, this hedging may result in a profit that is more or less than expected, or it may result in a loss. A portion of the profits, if any, realized in hedging our obligations under the Trigger PLUS may be allowed to other affiliated or unaffiliated dealers, and we or one or more of our affiliates will retain any remaining hedging profits. See “Risk Factors — The estimated value of the Trigger PLUS is lower than the original issue price (price to public) of the Trigger PLUS” in this document.

Secondary market prices of the Trigger PLUS: For information about factors that will impact any secondary market prices of the Trigger PLUS, see “Risk Factors — Secondary market prices of the Trigger PLUS will be impacted by many economic and market factors” in this document.  In addition, we generally expect that some of the costs included in the original issue price of the Trigger PLUS will be partially paid back to you in connection with any repurchases of your Trigger PLUS by JPMS in an amount that will decline to zero over an initial predetermined period that is intended to be the shorter of two years and one-half of the stated term of the Trigger PLUS.  The length of any such initial period reflects the structure of the Trigger PLUS, whether our affiliates expect to earn a profit in connection with our hedging activities, the estimated costs of hedging the Trigger PLUS and when these costs are incurred, as determined by our affiliates.  See “Risk Factors — The value of the Trigger PLUS as published by JPMS (and which may be reflected on customer account statements) may be higher than the then-current estimated value of the Trigger PLUS for a limited time period.”
Tax considerations:

You should review carefully the section entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” in the accompanying product supplement no. MS-1-I. The following discussion, when read in combination with that section, constitutes the full opinion of our special tax counsel, Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, regarding the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of owning and disposing of the Trigger PLUS.

Based on current market conditions, in the opinion of our special tax counsel, your Trigger PLUS should be treated as “open transactions” that are not debt instruments for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as more fully described in “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences — Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders — Notes Treated as Open Transactions That Are Not Debt Instruments” in the accompanying product supplement. Assuming this treatment is respected, the gain or loss on your Trigger PLUS should be treated as long-term capital gain or loss if you hold your Trigger PLUS for more than a year, whether or not you are an initial purchaser of Trigger PLUS at the issue price. However, the IRS or a court may not respect this treatment of the Trigger PLUS, in which case the timing and character of any income or loss on the Trigger PLUS could be materially and adversely affected. In addition, in 2007 Treasury and the IRS released a notice requesting comments on the U.S. federal income tax treatment of “prepaid forward contracts” and similar instruments. The notice focuses in particular on whether to require investors in these instruments to accrue income over the term of their investment. It also asks for comments on a number of related topics, including the character of income or loss with respect to these instruments; the relevance of factors such as the nature of the underlying property to which the instruments are linked; the degree, if any, to which income (including any mandated accruals) realized by non-U.S. investors should be subject to withholding tax; and whether these instruments are or should be subject to the “constructive ownership” regime, which very generally can operate to recharacterize certain long-term capital gain as ordinary income and impose a notional interest charge. While the notice requests comments on appropriate transition rules and effective dates, any Treasury regulations or other guidance promulgated after consideration of these issues could materially and adversely affect the tax consequences of an investment in the Trigger PLUS, possibly with retroactive effect.

should consult your tax adviser regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the Trigger PLUS, including possible alternative treatments and the issues presented by this notice.

Section 871(m) of the Code and Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder (“Section 871(m)”) generally impose a 30% withholding tax (unless an income tax treaty applies) on dividend equivalents paid or deemed paid to Non-U.S. Holders with respect to certain financial instruments linked to U.S. equities or indices that include U.S. equities.  Section 871(m) provides certain exceptions to this withholding regime, including for instruments linked to certain broad-based indices that meet requirements set forth in the applicable Treasury regulations (such an index, a “Qualified Index”).  Additionally, a recent IRS notice excludes from the scope of Section 871(m) instruments issued prior to January 1, 2021 that do not have a delta of one with respect to underlying securities that could pay U.S.-source dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes (each an “Underlying Security”).  Based on certain determinations made by us, our special tax counsel is of the opinion that Section 871(m) should not apply to the Trigger PLUS with regard to Non-U.S. Holders.  Our determination is not binding on the IRS, and the IRS may disagree with this determination.  Section 871(m) is complex and its application may depend on your particular circumstances, including whether you enter into other transactions with respect to an Underlying Security.  You should consult your tax adviser regarding the potential application of Section 871(m) to the Trigger PLUS.

Withholding under legislation commonly referred to as “FATCA” may (if the Trigger PLUS are recharacterized as debt instruments) apply to amounts treated as interest paid with respect to the Trigger PLUS, as well as to payments of gross proceeds of a taxable disposition, including redemption at maturity, of a Trigger PLUS, although under recently proposed regulations (the preamble to which specifies that taxpayers are permitted to rely on them pending finalization), no withholding will apply to payments of gross proceeds (other than any amount treated as interest). You should consult your tax adviser regarding the potential application of FATCA to the Trigger PLUS. 

Supplemental use of proceeds and hedging:

The Trigger PLUS are offered to meet investor demand for products that reflect the risk-return profile and market exposure provided by the Trigger PLUS. See “How the Trigger PLUS Work” in this document for an illustration of the risk-return profile of the Trigger PLUS and “S&P 500 ® Index Overview” in this document for a description of the market exposure provided by the Trigger PLUS.

The original issue price of the Trigger PLUS is equal to the estimated value of the Trigger PLUS plus the selling commissions paid to JPMS and other affiliated or unaffiliated dealers and the structuring fee, plus (minus) the projected profits (losses) that our affiliates expect to realize for assuming risks inherent in hedging our obligations under the Trigger PLUS, plus the estimated cost of hedging our obligations under the Trigger PLUS.

Benefit plan investor considerations: See “Benefit Plan Investor Considerations” in the accompanying product supplement.
Supplemental plan of distribution:

Subject to regulatory constraints, JPMS intends to use its reasonable efforts to offer to purchase the Trigger PLUS in the secondary market, but is not required to do so. JPMS, acting as agent for JPMorgan Financial, will pay all of the selling commissions it receives from us to Morgan Stanley Wealth Management. In addition, Morgan Stanley Wealth Management will receive a structuring fee as set forth on the cover of this document for each Trigger PLUS.

We or our affiliate may enter into swap agreements or related hedge transactions with one of our other affiliates or unaffiliated counterparties in connection with the sale of the Trigger PLUS and JPMS and/or an affiliate may earn additional income as a result of payments pursuant to the swap or related hedge transactions. See “— Supplemental use of proceeds and hedging” above and “Use of Proceeds and Hedging” in the accompanying product supplement.

We expect that delivery of the Trigger PLUS will be made against payment for the Trigger PLUS on or about the original issue date set forth on the front cover of this document, which will be the third business day following the pricing date of the Trigger PLUS (this settlement cycle being referred to as “T+3”). Under Rule 15c6-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in two business days, unless the parties to that trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade Trigger PLUS on any date prior to two business days before delivery will be required to specify an alternate settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement and should consult their own advisors.
